Full Circle (I) (2019) User Reviews

An interesting and emotionally stirring film.

It's a dark tale featuring some charming characters - performances hold and are believable. The story arch is enjoyable, subtle twists render the narrative exciting. Good technical achievement, certainly for a one-man film crew! The psychological story elements are well presented, the film does invoke an element of paranoia and surreal, the film is a journey and empathy is felt, especially at the end. I'm just not sure if all audience will understand all the themes presented, it feels made for a specific niche. Well done - great effort!

A badly made film with a confusing story.

A badly made film with a confusing story. Some good performances from the cast, but let down by a poor script. The pacing of the film really drags, to the point that you begin to lose interest in the storyline. The two main leads give good performances, but struggle to save an overblown script that tries too hard to include too many concepts. There is never any clarity in the story and it is sometimes difficult to understand the motivations of the characters. The film lacks a fluid through line between the scenes and there seems to be no core narrative. Instead we get lots of overly dramatic monologues desperately trying to keep the audience up to date with what is going on. At times seemed like a messy student film.
